An inflatable seal is a type of rubber seal that inflates and deflates based on the presence of an inflation source. This allows the seal to accommodate a variable sealing gap. When pressure is applied internally to the seal, it inflates to conform to uneven surfaces and provides a reliable barrier from moisture, damp and other contaminants.
